JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The juniors entertained the seniors, faculty and board members with a banquet and prom on the evening of May 21. The gym was decorated to carry 6ut a rainbow motif. The sky was decorated with blue crepe paper and silver balloons. A large rainbow framed the orchestra. The menu consisted of cocktail, chicken legs, peas, mashed potatoes, hot rolls, lemon jello salad, radishes, butter pecan ice cream, wafers, and coffee. The tables were decorated with lilies of the valley and white lilacs. Gmail corsages of sweet peas were at each plate. Jim Cooney acted as toastmaster and introduced Clarence Culkin, President of the junior class, who welcomed the guests and Lucille Weller, President of the senior class, who gave the response. Other toasts were given by Dr. McKean, Rosemary Bess, Francis Sckade, and Mr. Kibler. Mildred Finefield read the Prophecy and Gladys Dassow, the Class Will. Sophomore girls, dressed in silver aprons and rainbow halos, served the banquet, which was prepared by the Evangelical Ladies. Music was furnished throughout the dinner by Faye Shafer. A girls1 trio, consisting of Betty Jo Sims, La Verne Runyon, and Rosemary Bess sang Over The Rainbow.” After the banquet, the tables were removed and the guests danced until midnight' to music furnished by Rose Marie Orr’s orchestra. This was the first time a prom had even been held and everyone seemed to enjoy it very much. Let’s hope it becomes an old custom.
